New world: vol. 1 no. 9

MORMONS LYNCHED.— The Quincy Whig of the 18th inst. states that the citizens of Tully, Mo. have recently missed several articles and laid the theft to the Mormons living at Nauvoo, Ill. immediately opposite. At length a number of the citizens of Tully crossed the river in the vicinity of the Mormon settlements, where, after some searching, they found several of the stolen articles. Shortly after falling in with a party of three or four Mormons, they were charged with the theft, and forcibly taken across the river and severely lynched. One of them escaped, and running, to the river seized a canoe and reached the other shore, where he fell exhausted.
A public meeting of the Mormons has been held in Nau-voo, at which the following, among other resolutions, was passed:
That the people of Missouri not having sufficiently slaked their thirst for blood and plunder, are now disposed to pursue us with a repetition of the same scenes of brutality which marked their whole course of conduct towards us during our unhappy residence among them.
Notwithstanding they have already robbed us of our home, murdered our families, stolen and carried away our property, and their exertions to complete their own infamy as a State has caused unoffending thousands to be banished from the State without even the form of trial or the slightest evidence of crime.
They are now sending their gang of murderous banditti and thieving brigands to wreak further vengeance and satisfy their insatiable cupidity in the State of Illinois, and that too, before we have even had time to erect shelters for our families.
